Poor Tokoyami…

No new chapter and episode this week :(

I feel like Horikoshi sensei could have gone more furry with Fumikage Tokoyami, so here’s my take on the character!
(My Hero Academia)

Bakugou is 100% Blorbo.

I just wanted to draw Tokoyami & Shouji dressed up like edgelords.

I visioned to finish this back in mid-2020—at least, that’s how it seemed, given how I started the drawing then—but my ADHD, like the performance disorder it is, said, “LOL, nope!” and just like that, I wasn’t able to make progress that year TㅍT;;; Thankfully, however, though it’s been two years, I got back to completing this. And I’m glad enough with the results.

> You can watch the speedpaint here <

> You can check out the BTS strips of this here (my head was empty when I sketched those panels, so please don’t judge too hard lol;;;) <

feed him!!

two heroes on the front lines

there’s no need to be confined to the ground

+ bonus hawks

Can we please address how flustered Tokoyami got when Midoriya was fanboying over dark shadow in the first OVA. Tokodeku is such a good ship y’all

Dungeons and Dragons

let’s here it for drabble #100! Thank you so much for your support everybody! <33333

(also this may or may not be an excuse to write the mha fantasy au)
(also not me rewriting this three times because I couldn’t decide on what adventure I should take them on)

———–

Danny yawned as he watched the sun rise over the horizon. He had decided to take first watch, but had unfortunately been too awake to fall asleep, so he decided to stay up with Midoriya, ever the early riser.

He had spent the entire shift scribbling away in his notebook. Not that Danny minded, of course. It was a nice background noise as daydreamed about what kind of treasure they might find on their journey.

As the sun rose, the others rose with it. Iida was the first, his movements slow and careful so he didn’t accidentally hit any of the armor pieces he had taken off the night before. Next was Bakugou, who had thrown his red cape over his shoulders and marched off into the forest in search of their breakfast. Uraraka was woken by Kirishima’s snoring, as well as the quiet chattering that happened as Danny started a fire to cook whatever Bakugou brought back. And when Bakugou returned, he kicked Kirishima in his side to wake him up, barking loudly at him at how it was unacceptable that he always rose so late, though the sun wasn’t even fully over the horizon yet.

“So, just a recap,” Kirishima said with a yawn, rubbing the back of his head. “We’re going on this mission for what?”

“It’s a rescue mission,” Danny explained. “There’s a town that’s supposedly under a horrible spell by an evil necromancer, and we’re supposed to free them.”

“And after that, we’re rich,” Uraraka stated happily, bouncing on the balls of her feet as she adjusted her hat.

“But that’s not the most important part,” Midoriya said, snapping his notebook shut. He slipped it into his pack and adjusted the leather strap that sat across his chest.

“We need to hurry,” Iida said, slipping his helmet on. He began untying their horses, and handing the reins to their respective owners. “The stories say he gets stronger at night.”

———

It was early evening when they finally reached the town. It was mostly deserted, with the remaining citizens running and hiding and their bright, colorful presence.

Kirishima tries to smile warmly at one of the townspeople, but they squeak in fright and slam the door in his face. Whoever had taken over this town had certainly done a number.

They do their best to stick to the shadows so they aren’t seen by the Shadow’s guard. They can’t get caught before they get the chance to sneak into the castle. Hell, even Bakugou is quiet. He of all people understand the stakes.

This is his kingdom after all.

Or, at least, it was.

Bakugou took the lead since he knew the kingdom the best. He took them through backroads and alleyways. Through secret entrances and under taverns, until finally, a couple hours later, they were sneaking their way through the dungeons under the castle.

“Do you seriously have to wear armor for this trip?” Bakugou asks as Iida shifts uncomfortably. The clanking of his armor is loud, and he’s sure that if the castle hadn’t been mostly empty, they would have been caught already.

“How else am I going to protect myself?” Iida hisses. “Besides, as a knight I need to keep my armor on at all times.”

“You took it off to sleep last night,” Midoriya points out. Iida goes red and sputters out a, “w-well. I need to keep my armor on at all times unless I’m sleeping.”

“Nice save,” Danny whispers to him, snickering.

“We should probably keep moving,” Midoriya points out. “The closer it gets to dusk, the harder it will be to beat this villain.”

“Nerd’s right,” Bakugou huffs. “Let’s go.”

————

The large double doors to the throne room open on their own. They can all feel the dark magic wafting off of it, though. Danny frowns as he grips his sword in one hand and his shield in the other.

The others have their weapons out, too. Uraraka has her wand, and Midoriya his own sword, though it looks ancient. Bakugou’s hands are sparking with fire, and Kirishima has his battle axe at the ready. Iida has his own sword, gleaming in the firelight.

“Ah, you’ve come to kill me, have you?” A deep, dark voice says. In the very back, sitting on the throne is a dark figure with a bird-like head, concealed in dark clothing that helps him blend in with the shadows more. He looks at them lazily, almost uncaring, but they can all see the sharpness to his gaze.

“We won’t have to if you just surrender now,” Bakugou snarls. The figure rolls his eyes and gets off the throne. He moves slowly but with purpose, closer and closer still, before stopping at the foot of the stairs that lead up to the royal throne.

“Do you know who I am, boy?” He asks.

“You’re Tsukuyomi,” Midoriya says, voice hard. He’s gripping his sword with both hands as his eyes scan the area around them, calculating.

“That I am,” Tsukuyomi says. “The master of shadows, and the last thing you will see before you die.”

That’s all the warning they get before a large shadow creature launches itself out of the shadows and towards the group. Danny blocks the attack with his shield and swipes with his sword, making a shallow slash. Dark Shadow hisses with pain, but does not let up.

Uraraka is quick to help him, sending spell after spell towards the shadow creature. The light makes it weaker, they find, and Danny uses his own magic to use against the shadow.

Meanwhile, Bakugou and Kirishima lunge towards Tsukuyomi at the same time. Bakugou’s hands spark while Kirishima is spitting fire. They manage to catch Tsukuyomi off guard as his cloak catches fire. He quickly sheds it, revealing pale muscled arms decorated in rings and bracelets. He lifts his hands, and they start to glow with a purple energy.

His attack misses Bakugou, but it hits Kirishima and sends him flying into Iida. They crash to the floor in a loud heap, followed by Kirishima’s groaning. But Bakugou doesn’t let them distract him, doesn’t let up for even a second.

He sends another bright blast towards Tsukuyomi, who is blinded by the brightness. Iida, who has recovered from his tumble with Kirishima, moves faster than anybody thought possible, slashing his sword down Tsukuyomi’s back.

Tsukuyomi cries out in pain as he falls to his knees. Blood drenches his clothes, and drips to the floor, but he still has some fight left in him. He makes a swipe for Iida, who just barely manages to dodge. It’s enough of a distraction for Bakugou to kick Tsukuyomi in his side, sending him sprawling.

“I got this!” Uraraka tells Danny as the shadow is once again pushed back. “You go help them!”

Danny nods and runs off, narrowly avoiding an attack the shadow sends his way. When he reaches the others, he quickly helps Kirishima to his feet before returning to the fray.

Bakugou attacks once more, but Tsukuyomi sees it coming this time. He throws up a shield with his magic, and the blast bounces right off. But He’s so distracted by Bakugou and his ferocity that he doesn’t see Danny coming in behind him.

Without hesitation, he sends his sword through Tsukuyomi’s back and out his chest, glowing with his own green magic. Tsukuyomi chokes on his blood, gargled and harsh. When Danny pulls his sword out, he falls to the floor, dead.

———–

“You’re all free!” Bakugou yells out at the crowd that’s formed. “Tsukuyomi is dead! May we rebuild in peace, and keep moving forward! After all, it’ll take more than a little dark magic to destroy us!”

The townspeople cheer, louder than they have in weeks. The sun is shining brightly above their heads, with not a dark cloud in sight. Bakugou’s friends stand behind him, tall and proud as the crowd cheers them on.

———-

“And that looks like a good stopping point,” Tucker says, closing his notebook. Around him, everybody but Bakugou whines.

“Dude, that was such a sick kill!” Kirishima says, clapping Danny on the shoulder. The dice tower Danny was in the middle of making gets knocked over with the movement, and Kirishima smiles at him apologetically.

“It was super satisfying,” he nods in agreement. “Sorry about your character, Tokoyami,” he ads, looking towards his friend.

“I was happy to become one with the darkness for one session,” Tokoyami tells him with an amused glint in his eye. “It seems that even in fantasy, the light is too much for the shadows to handle.”

“You killed us!” Dark Shadow whines, crossing their arms over their chest.

“You can make a new character if you ever decide you wanna play with us again,” Uraraka points out. That seems to cheer Dark Shadow up, and Iida nods enthusiastically.

“You took my kill!” Bakugou yells at Danny angrily.

“Should have killed him faster,” Danny shoots back with a shrug. But before Bakugou can lunge across the table to strangle Danny, Midoriya interrupts.

“That was so much fun! I have so many questions now! Do you mind if we hang out sometime this week so I can ask you?”

“I would love nothing more,” Tucker says, stacking his notebooks and gathering his dice. “Now, I have to run to my dorm before curfew. Same time next week?”

“Yes, that should work,” Iida tells him. Tucker nods, does a weird little handshake with Danny, and sprints out the doors of the 1-A dorms.

“So,” Danny grins, “How’s you like your first session of dungeons and dragons?”

BnHA Ch.354 leak reactions

• Hawks to Jiro and Tokoyami:

• But hell yeah kids, show the pros how it’s done!!! If Hawks is past his prime at 23, then I guess it’s up to some 16 year olds to be better than him. I’m always down with the kids inspiring the adults.
• I can’t wait for the official translation of AFO yapping about a 200 year old comic book and Jiro saying, “Shut up, nerd!”
• Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist truly are the brain trust of MHA. “Go for the head” ok Thanos. Also, AFO survived the last part of Kamino without the mask (All Might broke it before he “put his back into it”) so it’s not like AFO dies as soon as it comes off.

• No, but really, wouldn’t Hawks have been going for the headshot regardless of AFO’s mask?
• Endeavor gets momentarily distracted by AFO and that’s enough. AFO impales(? Rips a chunk out of?) Enji. Yeah, it parallels All Might but also…this isn’t Endeavor’s first injury — he was previously skewered in the war, though presumably to a lesser degree.
• I don’t get why Enji wasn’t expecting taunts about Toya and his #1 status. Like Enji is aware that AFO knows about Toya (because he was in the LOV with Shigaraki), and AFO knows about Enji’s All Might envy (from Kamino).

• Speaking of Thanos, why was AFO going for the body blow instead of the head? What is so satisfying about punching holes in people, but leaving them alive? And didn’t AFO tell All Might that wounded heroes are the scariest?
